Based in New York, Arte En Oro is a curator of exceptional jewelry designs, rare gemstones, specimens and elements for private clients. Each piece is one of a kind and expertly procured by our founder and expert artisans.
Rebeca Cardenas started designing her own pieces with her New York-based jeweler over a decade ago. It began after a trip to Key West and a visit to the Mel Fisher Museum. "I wanted to recreate a piece reminiscent of the lost treasures of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha," a Spanish treasure galleon that sank off the Florida Keys in 1622. "I was absolutely enchanted by the glowing emeralds and brilliant gold jewelry remnants from this tragic wreck, I wanted to wear something resembling it, something to acknowledge it, it was my passion project." After numerous inquiries and compliments on the piece, Arte En Oro was born out of demand for personalized custom pieces.
More than an accessory, jewelry tells a story and becomes a personal expression, a continuation of the person wearing it. Arte En Oro specializes in the one-on-one client piece. Designing and purchasing a bespoke piece of jewelry can be stressful, if not entirely overwhelming. We collaborate closely with our clients to create an everlasting design that brings the wearer joy and endless compliments.
Every step of jewelry design matters to us. From understanding the miners and sourcing of gemstones to the skilled craftsmen creating the piece of jewelry art for our clients. Some pieces are hand forged from reclaimed gold, natural stones, and vintage findings while others are designed with specially sourced materials that connect with each client. We work closely with our clients to produce a bespoke piece that is close to their heart and is true to their vision. Our pieces bring joy and invite envy for a lifetime.
Exquisite accents for the home. Find the perfect complement for your tastes.
